Bucs believe Doug Martin is 'way ahead' of the other running backs

Oct 03, 2014

Don't give up on running back Doug Martin, because the Bucs aren't going to. Although Martin has been ineffective, the coaches still think he's way ahead of the other running backs. The holes haven't been there for Martin to do very much, but coach Lovie Smith believes in a run-first offense. The Bucs are going to keep feeding the ball to Martin. Sooner or later, he's bound to break free, and that could happen against a struggling New Orleans defense.

Fantasy Impact:

Martin is our #19 RB in standard formats and is one of the few backs in that range with an all but guaranteed workload.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
